Man beaten to death

September 24, 2008

A 41-year-old man was beaten to death during a fight at a Southwest Side bar over the weekend that spilled into the street, authorities said Tuesday. The family of the victim, Robert Ulmer, said he was not a Cubs fan and they disputed a published report that said the fight was among Cubs fans celebrating the team's division-clinching victory. Gloria Polendo, Ulmer's common-law wife of 13 years, said the assault was an unprovoked random act of violence.
